CHANGE CARRIED OUT IN THE BUSHING OF THE DEVELOPER TANK.

1.Model Name: SF-2116/ 21 18/1016/1018

2.General: Cohesion of the developer sometimes occurs after the first 500 to 2,000 copies are

made when copy operations are carried out on the machine under low copy volume conditions, due to the influence from the oil bearing used in the developer tank. The cohesion of the developercan result in problemsof light copies, and as a measure to alleviate this oroblem, a change has been carried out in the bearing. The new bearing has a teflon coat to help prevent the above problem from occurring.

3.Description: Four bearings with a diameter of ø6 have been changed to bearings with a teflon coat.
